Mamin-Sibiryak “In general, the surroundings of Tagil belong to the most picturesque in the entire Middle Urals, and the views from the Gora Belaya and the Medved-kamen are remarkable in all beauty.”

Dyrovatik Mountain is a geomorphological natural monument of Sverdlovsk oblast and it is located in the surroundings of Chernoistochinsk settlement, which is near the city of Nizhny Tagil. Dyrovatik Mountain was so named because of an unusual through hole on top of the cliff. Arch with a diameter of about two meters, due to which the mountain was so named, was formed in the rock due to weathering, under the influence of water and wind. The mountain is shaped like a sloping cone, the slopes are covered with a mixed forest. From the rocks towering above the forest, if there is a good weather, you can enjoy a stunning view of Chernoistochinsk, Chernoistochinsky pond, Lipovaya mountain and surroundings.

Natural Park “Chusovaya River” is an original natural museum, preserving virgin landscapes, primary forests, clean Chusovaya river and its affluxes.

Total area is 77146 hA, including in the territory of the municipal unit Nizhny Tagil city that is 52314 hA. Scientific value of the Chusovaya River is great. According to geologists, the rock outcrops along its banks are geological and paleontological monuments of nature. Most of the rocks are geomorphological monuments because of the unusual shape, size, colour, karst occurrences. Caves of the Chusovaya River are unique archaeological monuments, for example, caves of the Dyrovaty Stone, niche on the Dozhdevoy Stone. Value of rocks and river banks of the Park also consists in the fact that they are the habitat of endemic, relict, rare and endangered species of flora and fauna listed in the Red Books of various rank.

Lipovaya Mountain is situated in Sverdlovsk oblast, in Chernoistochinsk settlement. It is located in the northeast of the settlement, when entering it from Nizhny Tagil. The mountain is partly covered with forest, the slopes are very steep. Lipovaya Mountain is a former volcano. There are the remains of an ancient crater on the top. You can enjoy a magnificent view of Nizhny Tagil, Chernoistochinsk, the mountains: Belaya, Ostraya, Dyrovatik and Yuriev Kamen from the mountain.

Another rekmarkable place is Yuriev Kamen Mountain located near Nizhny Tagil between the Lenevsky water reservoir and the Chernoistochinsky pond. At first glance, it can be mistaken for a whole mountain range: cliffs of the most bizarre forms are scattered in groups and singly on a shallow mountain among the trees. In former times the mountain was much higher. But under the influence of wind and water, light rocks crumbled, and hard and heavy granite remained, creating a unique landscape. In this "granite town" there are own houses, towers, canopies, dead ends. Some rocks seem to be composed of giant flat stones by giant builders. Others, like Zhuravlev Stone (Zhuravka), consist of vertically placed stone slabs. Weathering formed stone rivers - boulder stream. They are like paved streets cross Yuryev Kamen.

The first meeting with the lake Beszdonny - the deepest lake in Sverdlovsk oblast, gives an unforgettable impression to a man. Surrounding it from all sides, the forest suddenly parted, and below, like in the deepest midwood, the water surface, beautiful and very mysterious glistens. Local residents and nature lovers tried to measure depth of the lake, but could not reach the bottom, probably, its name Bezdonny (bottomless) originated from it. Depths of this reservoir of karst origin are amazing: in four to five meters from the bank they reach 20-30 meters, and in the centre- about fifty with the area of three hectares. The water is completely transparent. The bottom is covered with trees, which collapsed together with the surface soil layers as a result of a karst hole. Aquatic vegetation of the top is poor, as the lake is almost not overgrown, but life of plankton is richly developed.

Dolgaya Mountain is a favourite place for residents and visitors of the city. Ski resort “Gora Dolgaya” is located 10 km from Nizhny Tagil.

The mountain top is made of a granite dome with a pointed structure on it - a part of the city's emblem. Today, there is an amazing view of the city and the pond from the Lisya Mountain. It was a traditional place for wide public celebrations. One of them is indicated on the picture “Celebrations on the Lisya Mountain” by famous Tagil artist I.F.Khudoyarov, which depicts the panorama of Nizhny Tagil in the first half of XIX century. In 2015 the complex "Natural Landscape Park” Lisya Mountain” was restored.

In 2015, a new museum was opened in it, by the way, the most miniature museum exposition in Russia. The exposition tells about history of the tower, about various ways of using it for almost two centuries: as a watchtower, as an observatory, as a fire tower and even as a monument of love to N.N. Demidov and E.A. Stroganova (Demidova). The landscape with a mountain crowned with a turret always attracted artists’ attention. Its images of the XIX and XX centuries, drawings, instruments: a telescope, a compass, a barometer and a thermometer, as well as books of meteorological observations in Nizhny Tagil, published in Paris in the middle of the XIX century are exhibited. The key exhibit is a circular panorama of Nizhny Tagil in 1880s, made from photographs from reserve museum collection. This provides a unique opportunity for viewer to see the city of the XIX century, and compare it with the modern view of Nizhny Tagil.
